This is for the attention of anyone who was a subscriber to the named station and cancelled direct debit after it's collapse....
In the last week you may have received a letter from a new part of the chanel, Setanta Hibernia or something, about direct debit. My dad got the same letter but assured me he had cancelled the debit in June so there was nothing to worry about.
Today I was listening to TalkBack and this came up where a man had realised this new lot had began taking money out of his account again. He contacted his bank and they told him he had cancelled with them but not with Setanta and there was nothing they could do about it as he'd signed a contract with them (Setanta). He asked his bank later to then send him the paper work where he had signed to allow a new company to start a debit and they returned saying he needn't worry, the bank would repay the money into his account within 48 hours.
I contacted me ma and sent her to the bank to see if they had been done and sure enough, the money has been taken from them. Other people I have contacted went to investigate and have come back to me saying yes, they have been hit too...
So, everyone should check to be sure as I'm sure you're probably in the same boat!!!

Yeah, i got caught from it.
A few weeks ago, I got an email saying that Setanta was changing to Setanta Hibernia S.A.R.L. and if I din't want them to keep taking out payments I needed to contact them.
I immeditalely sent an email back to a few email addresses saying not to take any more money off me, and that I didn't want Setanta anymore.
Then the other day I seen they took £9.99 out of my account.
As soon as I seen it taken out I went to the bank and told them to cancel any DD with this new company.
Think there may be a case to get your money back if you argue that you never signed up to any direct debit with setanta hibernia s.a.r.l or whatever its called, that your deal was with setanta.
Dunno if i could be bothered for the sake of £9.99 though.
Although, this is obviously exactly what they want, how many £9.99's could they rack up ...

me too the credit card company said that 100s if not 1000s of complaits had been received. he said setanta have changed name and bank and just reissued everyones details to see how much they could get. told our sec hed have to pay or breach of contract ,he told them they breached the contract as soon as screen went blank.

The bank has been allowing what really is a new company to open an old direct debit in people's accounts without your permission. It's unreal. Would make ye wonder how safe your money is!!!!!!  |
